so you have turned on your mailserver and it works?
which MTA are you using? Sendmail / Postfix / Exim?
have you allowed it to accept incoming mail from external hosts?
have you restarted it since the change?
RH documentation will help you here, as this question has been asked _many_ 
times on the list...
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-mta.html

the only difference you will see from these docs to your machine is that the 
RH config tools (if you use them) are called redhat-config-whatever. Yours 
are called system-config-whatever.

you might also find good info for other common questions at
